The book examines the critical role that African Americans played in the American Civil War, chronicling their valor and loyalty in the fight against slavery. Brown emphasizes not only their contributions during the Rebellion but also provides a contextual background on the condition of Black people in America prior to the war. The opening of the work provides a preface where Brown expresses his intent to document the overlooked heroism of Black soldiers during the Civil War, citing the necessity of preserving this aspect of history for future generations. He begins with an overview of the historical context, touching upon the early struggles of African Americans starting from their forced arrival in the colonies to their involvement in the Revolutionary War. Notably, he mentions the first martyr of the Revolutionary War, Crispus Attucks, and highlights how Black soldiers served in various conflicts, illustrating a long-standing commitment to the fight for liberty and their participation in shaping American history. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the many dimensions of Black involvement in the fight for freedom throughout American history.
